SEATTLE -- H-back Joshua Perkins and walk-on running back Willis Wilson were reinstated to Washington's football team one day after they were dismissed for a violation of team rules.
"They're back," Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said. "We gathered some more information on the situation and it felt like the right thing to do. We met with some of the leaders on the team, it felt like the right thing to do. Their punishment will be handled in house and I think they're thankful for the opportunity to get back and I think their teammates are happy to have them back."
Perkins and Wilson practiced Friday night.
